Excellent 1400
B210-based Datsun Sunny 1400 Excellent (PB210) used a deep-vee, twin-nostril grille. This grille was also used by 140Y and 160Y including the 140Z & 160Z coupes.
Note the "S" emblem (for Sunny) on the grille
GX models were equipped with foglights integrated into the front grill.

Excellent 1600
The 1976-1977 Excellent 1600 (GB211) replaced the earlier Excellent 1400 in the Japan home market. The 1600 featured a more luxury-looking grille instead of the sporty-looking grille of the 1400.

USA
As usual, USA models used different grilles, partly due to FMVSS safety regulations. Canada models were the same.
- 5-mph bumper safety changed the front apron, and did not allow use of the standard front combination lights. So the parking and signal lights were moved to the Grille.
- Nissan Motor Co. in U.S.A. standardized on a single grille for all B210 -- coupes and sedans used the same grille.
NA 1974-1976 Model year (to July 1976) NA 1977-1978 Model year (from August 1976)
Early North America
1974-1975 north american sedans and coupes used the worldwide #Early Coupe grille. The fish-gill type #Early Sedan grille was not used.
- Same as JDM Coupe grille (non-GX) 62302-H5500 USA GRILLE KIT-radiator Coupe & Sedan
- #Fog-lamp position was used for amber combination lamp (turn signal + parking lights). This was necessitated because the under-the-bumper lamps couldn't be used due to the 5mph bumpers
USA used amber Turn Signal lamps in place of the JDM fog lamps (non-USA has the Turn Signal/Markers/Indicators in the bumper)
Late North America
Late North America B210s (1977-1978) used the #late sedan grille for all coupes, as can be seen on this Canadian Coupe:
1977 dark gray grille
1978 black grille
